Released under the Official Information Act 1982 Online 0−3 DFO 6 Preface Preface ‘The object of giving medals, stars and ribbons is to give pride and pleasure to those who have deserved them. At the same time a distinction is something which everybody does not possess. If all have it, it is of less value. There must, therefore, be heart-burnings and disappointments on the borderline. A medal glitters, but it also casts a shadow. The task of drawing up regulations for such awards is one which does not admit of a perfect solution. It is not possible to satisfy everybody without running the risk of satisfying nobody. All that is possible is to give the greatest satisfaction to the greatest number and to hurt the feelings of the fewest.’ —Winston Churchill (British Prime Minister), 22 March 1944 ‘Our honours system is a way for New Zealand to say thanks and well done to those who have served and those who have achieved. We believe that such recognition is consistent with the egalitarian character of New Zealand society and enlivens and enriches it.’ —Report of the Prime Minister’s Honours Advisory Committee, September 1995 1.

  • Creation of Order of Chivalry Page 0 of 72
    º Creation of Order of Chivalry Page 0 of 72 º PREFACE Knights come in many historical forms besides the traditional Knight in shining armor such as the legend of King Arthur invokes. There are the Samurai, the Mongol, the Moors, the Normans, the Templars, the Hospitaliers, the Saracens, the Teutonic, the Lakota, the Centurions just to name a very few. Likewise today the Modern Knight comes from a great variety of Cultures, Professions and Faiths. A knight was a "gentleman soldier or member of the warrior class of the Middle Ages in Europe. In other Indo-European languages, cognates of cavalier or rider French chevalier and German Ritter) suggesting a connection to the knight's mode of transport. Since antiquity a position of honor and prestige has been held by mounted warriors such as the Greek hippeus and the Roman eques, and knighthood in the Middle Ages was inextricably linked with horsemanship. Some orders of knighthood, such as the Knights Templar, have themselves become the stuff of legend; others have disappeared into obscurity. Today, a number of orders of knighthood continue to exist in several countries, such as the English Order of the Garter, the Swedish Royal Order of the Seraphim, and the Royal Norwegian Order of St. Olav. Each of these orders has its own criteria for eligibility, but knighthood is generally granted by a head of state to selected persons to recognize some meritorious achievement. In the Legion of Honor, democracy became a part of the new chivalry. No longer was this limited to men of noble birth, as in the past, who received favors from their king.

  • Order of Chivalry HERALD Let All Members of the Order of Chivalry Come Forward, and Attend Their Majesties
    Order of Chivalry HERALD Let all members of the Order of Chivalry come forward, and attend Their Majesties. The Knights come forward and kneel, including those who will escort the Candidate. A central aisle is kept open. Since ancient times, it has been recognized that there are certain warriors who are much deserving of high honor, not only by their skill at arms, but by their noble behavior, which came to define the meaning of chivalry. For a Kingdom is supported by these three things: service, art, and valor. And without any one of these, the Kingdom topples. Therefore was created the Order of Knighthood of our Society, to recognize those who, possessing all the other skills, virtues, and attributes appropriate to members of the Peerage, shall also have distinguished themselves by their prowess at arms and chivalrous demeanor. This Order is formed like unto the Knightly Orders of old, with the accolade passing in unbroken descent from knight to knight. And the symbols of this Order are a white belt and an unadorned chain. For the white belt betokens the honor with which the knight girds (himself/herself), and the chain, the duty (s/he) accepts. This Order ranks in precedence with the Order of the Laurel, the Order of the Pelican, and the Order of Defense, and carries with it a Patent of Arms. KING Sir N., please bring forward N. The escort leads his brother knights of escort to the rear of the assembly, where the Candidate is waiting with his accoutrements. The knights escort the candidate before the thrones, arranged with the candidate in the center, flanked by the sponsor and the shield/banner bearer, followed by the bearers of the candidate’s sword and spurs.

  • PRIOR to the DUBBING CEREMONY at Around the Age of Twenty-One, After Years of Training, a Squire Might Be Promoted to the Status of Knight
    4 PRIOR TO THE DUBBING CEREMONY At around the age of twenty-one, after years of training, a squire might be promoted to the status of knight. Not all squires became knights, but for those that did, the process of being knighted was highly ritualistic. Ritualistic means religious and solemn. As with many religious services, the process began the evening before the actual ceremony. The squire started by taking a ritualistic bath. The purpose of the bath was to cleanse the body so that the squire would be symbolically pure for the ceremony the next day. The squire dressed in a white tunic covered with a red robe. He stayed awake for the entire night fasting and praying for the purity of his soul. The ceremony conferring knighthood was called an accolade, and is also known as a dubbing ceremony. The word dub means to name or christen. In this case, the squire is being given the title of knight. Prior to the service, the squire s sword was blessed and a priest heard the soon-to-be knight s confession a declaration of any wrongdoing. © Lessons Learned by Heart 13 4 THE DUBBING CEREMONY During the dubbing ceremony, the squire knelt down on one knee. He took an oath to be loyal to his lord and king (or queen). He pledged to protect his church and the kingdom. He vowed to be brave. His sponsor (the lord, king, or queen) then tapped the squire on his shoulder with the side of the sword and declared, I dub thee Sir, Knight.
